Re: 3 yrs cancer free

I saw the oncologist. Not much to report, visits are pretty short when you are doing well. I get blood work at 6 month and ct chest/abd/pelvis in one year.I asked about my prognosis at this point and she agreed it gets better as time goes on. I believe she said 75% recur in the first 2 years. I think Mayo told me 90-95% recur in the first 2 -2 1/2 years.She said I can have kids if I chose to do so, so we'll see. It's a big decision. I did meet with high risk OB about 6 months ago and he said I am not that high risk. He called me medium risk. Said my main concerns would be preeclampsia and growth restriction. Also talked about the possibility for issues if I need a csection due to my abdominal surgeries.

I am so thankful for my 3 years of life. I am now 34 years old. Any questions, please feel free to ask.
